History has been made in the Charleston art world. French Quarter Gallery Association with over 20
years and 25 galleries have rebranded combining with Charleston Fine Art Dealers’ Association - CFADA
of 17 years and inviting other art galleries in the downtown and greater Charleston area to become the
Charleston Gallery Association. “We are thrilled to bring all the art galleries together to continue
promoting Charleston as a global ‘Art Destination’ with now over 40 Fine Art Galleries.” Julie Dunn –
Former President of French Quarter Gallery Association now the first President of Charleston Gallery
Association.
The visual arts community in Charleston has so much to offer from traditional Lowcountry landscapes to
contemporary abstractions and everything in between. Today’s art collector is purchasing art they love
and Charleston offers a grand selection. Charleston being a tourist town and voted #1 city in the
country by Condé Nast Traveler Readers and #2 in the world, our goal is to show the art collectors of the
world that this city is a destination for quality art. Promoting the galleries as a whole provides a unity
and single voice that creates a contagious energy, and will not only bring visitors to Charleston for the
food, history and charm but also for the art!
Join us for the next Charleston Gallery Association ARTWALK on Friday October 2nd
2015 from 5 – 8pm.
